RAGE begins with the murder of a married couple in Tokyo's Hachioji district. Puzzlingly, the killer leaves the word "rage" scrawled in blood at the scene of the crime. A year later, three mysterious men emerge as persons of interest in the case, and one of them may be the suspected killer who has undergone plastic surgery.
In Chiba, Maki Yohei finds himself distrusting his flighty daughter Aiko's new boyfriend Tetsuya, who recently moved to town. In Tokyo, gay ad agency employee Fujita Yuma harbors suspicions about his new lover Onishi Naoto, a drifter he recently took into his home. And in Okinawa, a high school girl befriends a lone backpacker, who is camping out on a deserted outlying island.
